Generative AI: Transforming education into a personalized, addictive learning experience

ChatGPT has already assumed the role of an ad hoc personal tutor for millions, changing learning consumption patterns and enhancing our relationship with education. The possibility of an AI-powered teaching assistant — one that mentors, encourages, and guides learners through the material in a one-to-one relationship — is within grasp. And the scalability of AI means that anyone can benefit from it.

TikTok aims to grow its TikTok Shop business tenfold to $17.5B in 2024

With this goal, TikTok would not only be looking to take on Amazon, but also fellow Chinese-owned companies Temu and Shein, both of which have become popular in the U.S. But TikTok has something the other two companies don’t, which is an extremely popular social media network that could leverage viral videos to reach buyers

Researchers successfully 3D print hand with bones, ligaments and tendons

For the first time, researchers have successfully printed a robotic hand complete with bones, ligaments and tendons made of different types of polymers. The breakthrough was possible thanks to a new laser technique.

Researchers ETH Zurich, who conducted the work, believe it opens up new possibilities for the production of robotic structures that combine soft, elastic and rigid materials.

"Robots made of soft materials, such as the hand we developed, have advantages over conventional robots made of metal. Because they're soft, there is less risk of injury when they work with humans, and they are better suited to handling fragile goods," ETH Zurich robotics professor Robert Katzschmann explained.

Rust Programming language Is Getting Extremely Popular

Rust has been Stack Overflow’s most loved language for many years in a row.
Most developers using it really love it and more than 80% of developers that use it want to use it again next year.
Rust is also getting popular amongst new developers who aim to write safe/ stable and concurrent/ scalable applications.
Here are some of the reasons that made Rust popular
1. High Speed & Performance
It provides high-level abstractions that compile to efficient machine code as if you wrote the low-level code by hand as in C/ C++.
2. Memory Safety Without A Garbage Collector
A Garbage collector automatically frees up memory that is no longer in use by periodically checking which objects in memory are still accessible and which are not.

Microsoft, OpenAI hit with new lawsuit by authors over AI training

OpenAI and its financial backer Microsoft were sued on Friday in Manhattan federal court by a pair of nonfiction authors who say the companies misused their work to train the artificial-intelligence models behind the popular chatbot ChatGPT and other AI-based services.
Writers Nicholas Basbanes and Nicholas Gage told the court in a proposed class action that the companies infringed their copyrights by including several of their books as part of the data used to train OpenAI’s GPT large language model.
Representatives for Microsoft and OpenAI did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the complaint.
The lawsuit follows several others filed by fiction and nonfiction writers ranging from comedian Sarah Silverman to “Game of Thrones” author George R.R. Martin against tech companies over the alleged use of their work to train AI programs.

Title:This week in AI: Microsoft’s sticks an AI ad on keyboards

This week in AI, Microsoft unveiled a new standard PC keyboard  layout with a “Copilot” key. You heard correctly — going forward, Windows machines will have a dedicated key for launching Microsoft’s AI-powered assistant Copilot replacing the right Control key.
The move is meant, one imagines, to signal the seriousness of Microsoft’s investment in the race for consumer (and enterprise for that matter) AI dominance. It’s the first time Microsoft’s changed the Windows keyboard layout in ~30 years; laptops and keyboards with the Copilot key are scheduled to ship as soon as late February.
But is it all bluster? Do Windows users really want an AI shortcut — or Microsoft’s flavor of AI period?

Harvard’s robotic exoskeleton can improve walking, decrease falls in people with Parkinson’s

If you follow the world of robotic exoskeletons with any frequency, you’re no doubt aware of the two primary categories. The first is aimed firmly at workers with strenuous or repetitive jobs such as lifting and transporting packages. The second is assistive, largely focused at individuals with mobility impairments.

The latter category is often the domain of soft robotic exoskeletons – those with fabric parts designed to be more of a day-to-day assistive accessory. These systems are also increasingly focused on specific issues that impact people’s ability to get around. After all, not all mobility impairments are created equal.
